Disagree. They are very comparable. A return time for a ride: one pays, one doesn't.
I don't know about the minimal wait for Genie+, based on my experience and MANY on here they are only getting 3-5 rides per day for that money. We can easily ride more than that with
DAS for free.
Bottom line G+ changed the perspective for Disney. Surprised that Universal waited so long since their Express Pass is expensive. Six Flags went for proof needed when they added Flash Pass.
I get it, I don't want to jump through the hoops. Disney is up on that pedestal that tends to forget they are a business. They moved GAC to DAS. They changed the DAS. I still don't think the program is working well. I think we can all see the moves they made in the last year or so that they are beginning to tighten up, close loops and beginning to monetize more.
Open any social media and you will see step by step instructions on how to get a DAS ... return times for free.
A judge has not ruled on the current situation. What they ruled on has nothing to do with the current situation. They already changed the system recently with this call in process. Typical guests could legit sue about that.
Both Genie+ and DAS are given a return time. Genie+ might give you a quick return time on something but it's not to say you want it, and likely the quick return time is because the line is short. Again - they both give you access to the LL without having to wait in the SB lane.
THIS and I've been saying it since they gave us Genie+ and they gave DAS holders 2 in advance free essentially Genie+ times.
The minute they monetized FP+ it changed the whole landscape for DAS, and sadly Disney made it even worse with the freebies.
Add DAS will let you ride the same ride over and over, Genie+ does not.
